由中国国家文物局水下文化遗产保护中心和沙特国家考古中心组织的中沙联合考古队，在对塞林港遗址开展的第二次联合发掘中，获得重要成果。考古队发现大型建筑遗址，出土了包括中国瓷器在内的诸多文物，为研究海上丝绸之路提供了珍贵资料。
本次考古工作分为田野考古、水下考古、遥感考古，从陆地、海洋、空中对塞林港遗址进行全面的调查、发掘与研究，取得超乎预期的成果。
据介绍，陆地考古方面，考古队发现成片的大型建筑基址，其中一座可能为清真寺，并发现排列有序的珊瑚石墓群;水下考古方面，确认了港湾与航道;遥感考古方面，利用无人机航拍，发现并确认了被流沙掩盖的古代季节性河流，解答了塞林港选址于此的重要缘由。
遗址发掘中，考古队员清理出铜砝码、青金石、串珠、玛瑙、象牙制品、钱币等，同时还发现了阿拉伯石器、波斯釉陶以及来自中国的瓷器，包括宋元时期的龙泉青瓷和景德镇青白瓷以及明清时期的青花瓷。
塞林港遗址位于阿拉伯半岛西南部，地处红海之滨。据阿拉伯文献记载，塞林港大约在公元9至13世纪进入繁荣期，遗址为一处重要的朝圣贸易港，面积超过100万平方米。
中国驻沙特大使李华新在考察时说，此次联合考古工作，开创了中国和阿拉伯世界“一带一路”文化合作的先河。
